Remove Wray. We need new leadership in the FBI. I have no proof Wray is corrupt but the FBI failed on J6. Wray has been playing politics ever since J6 and in some ways may have hampered Garlands investigations. Just my opinion.

Slant, bias, corruption, whatever you want to call it, Wray should have been gone long ago along with all tRump holdovers.

(14,187 posts).... to the Supreme Court was a fiasco. The complaints that came in about Kavanaugh that were never investigated by the FBI were astounding. Wray gave the details of the numerous complaints logged against Kavanaugh to the White House and McConnell so that the improprieties never saw the light of day during the confirmation process.
This was all done to stack the court with young extreme right-wingers who would rule from the bench of the countries highest court for generations to come.
Federalist Society member Wray made sure the court was stacked with Supreme Court Justices who would do their bidding from the bench.
Wray has his thumb on the scales of justice to advance the agendas of the extremist right-wingers.

FBI DIRECTOR CONFIRMS AGENCY SENT TIPS FROM KAVANAUGH TIP LINE TO TRUMP WHITE HOUSE WITHOUT INVESTIGATION
Trump White House also determined which witnesses the FBI should interview. 4,500 tips to FBI went uninvestigated.
Washington, DC In a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) today received confirmation from FBI Director Christopher Wray that the FBI sent tips that the agency had collected about Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the Trump White House without investigation. The tips were collected through the FBIs existing tip line as part of a supplemental background investigation after allegations of sexual misconduct emerged during Justice Kavanaughs 2018 confirmation process. Wray also confirmed that the Trump White House directed which witnesses the FBI was permitted to interview.
You reviewed them for purposes of separating from tip line traffic but did not further investigate the ones that related to Kavanaugh, correct? Whitehouse asked in reference to the more than 4,500 tips collected by the FBI.
Director Wray responded, Correct.
When asked by Whitehouse whether the FBI took direction from the Trump White House as to whom the FBI could question, Wray responded that the agency did take direction from the White House since it was the requesting entity.
Following the exchange, Whitehouse posted to Twitter, Heres a thought: nothing prevented Trump White House from using FBI tip line information to direct FBI investigation away from percipient or corroborating witnesses.
For years since Justice Kavanaughs confirmation, Whitehouse has doggedly sought answers from the FBI about its treatment of information submitted through the tip line. The FBI has provided delayed and incomplete information in response to the Senators oversight inquiries. In todays hearing, Whitehouse pledged to submit a report to the Judiciary Committee outlining the FBIs handling of the tip line. The FBIs process for such investigations remains highly relevant because the Senate relies on the results of the FBIs investigations to carry out its advice and consent duties for nominations.

(14,187 posts)... everything is perfectly perfectly perfect.
There is no need to consider alternate viewpoints.
We should all think exactly exactly the same about each and every political issue and our opinions should be exactly the identical. S
If anyone should see things even from a slightly different perspective - that should immediately be discarded, criticized, and shot down.
Is there really any reason for Democratic Underground ? The status quo is just perfectly perfectly perfect. No need to meddle with or offer countering viewpoints - by some standards they should be immediately shut and shot down.
Sorry to disrupt your private nirvana - by encouraging open and free discussion that might improve things just a bit.

And you have every right to discuss what you want. You don't have the right to not be challenged on your opinions. If President Biden is comfortable with Wray's performance, I'll respect his judgement.
